They did it to try and belittle me, to try and to take away my pride. But I went through the whole system with them. And at the end, I – I wanted the public to know that I was okay, even though I was hurting.

Probably all the attention to poetry results in some value, though the attention is more often directed to lesser than to greater values.

In prose, I think you sometimes have to write in very plain language, where every line may not seem to be so important, though in all writing every line is important.

I’m kind of a ‘Daily Show,’ Bill Maher junkie. I listen to NPR and I still get the ‘New York Times’ paper delivered to my door, even though I live in L.A.

In L.A., though, people get off busses calling themselves actors, so many are really not professionals.

My husband and I are loyal to our community and very approachable, even though we’re kind of mainstream.

Our leaders increasingly see fit to lecture the ethnic minorities on the need to integrate, including of course the need to speak English. What about the need, though, for Britain to integrate with the rest of the world?

For there to be communication within a couple, it is enough for there to be only one person who communicates or who really wants to communicate. Even though a couple consists of two people, if one of the people in a couple puts all their effort into moving a couple along they will move along.

A mother-in-law is better than a single and childless political persona, though.

I think that what comes through in Chicago humor is the affection. Even though you’re poking fun at someone or something, there’s still an affection for it.

You are an extremely valuable, worthwhile, significant person even though your present circumstances may have you feeling otherwise.

Did any agents ever put Diane Ladd up for some of the great parts, even though she always got great reviews? No! But do they put up the girlfriend of the studio executive who’s gonna do them a favor later? You betcha.

The Golden Eagle, which has universally been considered as a bird of most extraordinary powers of flight, is in my estimation little more than a sluggard, though its wings are long and ample.

I like people who don’t accept boundaries. Like Florence Nightingale. And Napoleon or Louis XIV, though I’m not sure how much I’d have liked to meet them. I admire people who aren’t circumscribed by circumstance.

Even in decline, a virtuous man increases the beauty of his behavior. A burning stick, though turned to the ground, has its flame drawn upwards.

I’m extremely, extremely lucky to be who I am and do what I do and work with the people I work with. Even though I can always find something to complain about, I find it very hard to complain.

When about to commit a base deed, respect thyself, though there is no witness.

For the third season, we do a sit around on one episode where we were in character and then we commented on one episode just being ourselves, so – not really. I was comfortable, though. I wasn’t nervous.

Even though I’m Hispanic, I’m so white.

Phillip Harrison was the production designer, though, I think he’s uncredited. He’s done most of my films like Blue Thunder. Lots and lots over the years.

I like conventions. I like meeting and greeting. I’m perched on that edge where I’m getting more attention than I quite know what to do with, though.

Hip-hop lasted and survived all these years that you have to give it credit. Even though it’s not up to people’s expectations anymore, its still here, and that’s says a lot.

Doing ‘EastEnders’ wasn’t exactly suffering, but my soul’s not in quick-fix TV. Theatre doesn’t pay like TV work pays, though. We all have to live, don’t we?

I like to find music that shares a rhythm with the sentences I’m working on. And though I’ll probably regret saying this, I think some songs actually don’t sound too bad when they’re played through lousy speakers.

My aim is that every sermon series I preach is prepared as though I were teaching a college-level course.

I spend so much time with the brightest and most talented and well-rounded people. I’ve had the privilege of having long and very intellectual conversations with people, and sometimes I just sit there and listen. It’s like a better version of a class. Even though I’m not sitting at a desk and in school, I’m...

I would be terrified if Bill Maher was like, ‘Hey, do you want to come on the show?’ I would be like, ‘Oh, God.’ It would completely terrify me, even though I’m such a junkie for the show.

Humour and high seriousness… Perfect bedfellows, I think. Though I usually phrase it in terms of comedy and darkness. Comedy without darkness rapidly becomes trivial. And darkness without comedy rapidly becomes unbearable.

I was pretty new to the Broadway world once I began working in it. I hadn’t really grown up being too aware of that many shows or that many actors in shows. I was always obsessed with Judy Garland, though.

Even though I am a professional, and I know what the steps are, I don’t quite know how I’m going to do them, because I haven’t lived that moment yet. I always feel very insecure and I get very excited.

The idea that man is a tabula rasa, or Mao’s sheet of blank paper upon which the most beautiful characters can be written, is an old one with disastrous implications. I do not think though that the cults you mention could survive honest thought about human nature.

No novel is a clone of any preceding one, though with a background cast of characters and things that has grown to thousands, there are many familiar aspects.

Richard Pryor introduced me to the world of the inner city, and the urban world, and did it hysterically. My favorite comedian, even though we work 180 degrees differently, but funny is funny is funny.

The principle though remains the same, and the important thing is CBS fought hard, very hard, to protect that principle and will fight again.

The art world can be very intimidating because it’s just so vast. You talk to people who are really clued in to all the young artists and coming into it you’re never going to be able to catch up immediately, even though there’s pressure to.

I’m really an honorary Jew, you know; all the best people are. I really do feel Jewish, even though I’m a Catholic. The way the Church has been behaving, I’m happy to be Jewish.

Instead of art I have taught philosophy. Though technique for me is a big word, I never have taught how to paint. All my doing was to make people to see.

Growing up in a multicultural family, I never really felt that I was different – even though I was from most of the kids in my school. Especially with music, I try to just approach it as an equal.

Sometimes when Australians go overseas, it’s as though the ‘Aussie’ is refined out of them. I don’t know why. It’s never happened to me, because I’m really proud of it. I’m not embarrassed about where I’m from or who I am any more. I know who I am. I don’t fit in everywhere, but I...

I do want to sell as many records and win as many awards as I can. The awards though, they don’t necessarily determine if you’re good or not. I know that now.

True science is never speculative; it employs hypotheses as suggesting points for inquiry, but it never adopts the hypotheses as though they were demonstrated propositions.

I truly don’t know why it was ended, though. It was suddenly decided that that would be it. They never said particularly why, because they were cut off in their prime.

If we continue to address the issue of the environment where we live as though we’re the only species that lives here, we’ll create a disaster for ourselves.

I would be ready to become a dad if I was with the right person. I’d like a boy, though. Because they’re in charge.

My grandfather was a French professor in Kolkata, though I never met him.

I think the Bush Administration had basically inherited a policy toward Iraq from the Reagan/Bush Administration that saw Iraq as a kind of fire wall against Iranian fundamentalism. And as it developed over the 1980s, it became a real political run-a-muck… even though the Iraqis were known to be harboring Palestinian terrorists.

Though I’m a fashion designer, I never stuff my luggage with too many items.

Photography can be a deceitful, superficial medium that leads us into believing something even though we know it’s not necessarily true. It lulls us into a false sense of complacency.

Generalised anger and frustration is something that gets you in the studio, and gets you to work – though it’s not necessarily evident in anything that’s finished.

Though ambition in itself is a vice, it often is also the parent of virtue.
